Jones was injured Sunday when he charged Mike Matheny's slow roller in the eighth inning of the Braves' 6-5 loss to the Giants. This is the third straight season that Jones has gone on the DL.
Jones underwent an MRI exam on his knee and an X-ray of his ankle. The examination showed both were merely sprained.
"Our doctors say this is an injury that will heal itself," GM John Schuerholz said. "It just takes time."
ยท BATMAN, NOT PITCHER: Actor Michael Keaton threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Pirates' home opener. It went in the dirt, so he requested a mulligan and got it, throwing his second try down the middle.
Keaton also took a few swings at the team's owners, criticizing them for not spending enough money to field a competitive team.
"Look, I'd do it, too, if I were a businessman," said Keaton, a native of suburban Pittsburgh known for his role as Batman. "But, at some point, you've got to win. I think fans have been gracious. And maybe not vocal enough."
